TO THORSMOMMA & MUFFIE'S TOO!
Replying to yours: The book I spoke of is correctly titled "Little Dogs: Training your pint sized companion" by Deborah Wood.. I don't know how much it was cause I never look at $ when it comes to Chloe's stuff but I don't think it was more then $6. or so... The book is pink (snicker - Chloe is a girly girl) BUT I am sure it works on boy dogs too!!! OK I picked it up in Target - it was my first trip ever to the store... Someone left it by the leashes so I don't know if it is normally in the book section OR doggie section. I also bought her this little stuffed purse (also pink) and the purse was bigger then her when I bought it (she wasn't home yet. Both items are the best thing I ever bought. You should see her (still) drag this purse around & has been doing so since she was 810 grams! The purse must be 6 inches long - (like a stuffed animal but it's a purse instead) which of course was longer & fatter then her 6 months ago. And speaking of special treats for the "hard to train times". I buy her these "TRAINER TREATS" by Pedigree in the regular food shopping store. My daughters dogs beg for them but I don't make Chloe share. Her dogs would eat the WHOLE bag for one treat. THESE are "Yorkie
" sized treats and are great for training. I can get Chloe to do anything at all with these treats and they are inexpensive next to other brands, you get a tons of them in the bag and no special trip to the pet store. She will even show her teeth so I can brush them, as long as I tell her she'll get one of these. She likes ALL treats and crumbs BUT will only brush her teeth for these! They are shaped like little tiny, itty bitty 2 tone doggie bones - aside from working great, they are adorable... And by the way, someone here was asking about toothbrushes and I can't remember who, but Chloe uses an infant's toothbrush (my dentist gave her) cause the doggie ones were too big. Too bad he didn't have pink but... Oh well...
